Bugle Tune No.2

This video will give you a clear indication on things you need to work on, but very well done for learning a new tune! You must keep up your practise!

Things to think about are:Breathing - ensure that you take adequate breaths in order to the fullest sounds to come out of the bugle.Lips - make sure you prepare your lips by warming up. It is so important as to not damage them.Togetherness - practice coming in and pulling off notes together. The more together you sound the greater impact and the more enjoyment your audience will have in listening to the tune.Well done! Really good effort!
